I worked with a guy 20 some years ago as a stagehand; he told me he'd been on a catering crew working for the Stones in '89 on the 'Steel Wheels' tour here in Minneapolis.
Said they delivered some stuff to Keith's suite at the hotel and Bobby was there; the other caterer was a girl, and, unlike Keith - who my man said was very proper and polite - Bobby was hitting on her like mad and being very libidinous.
Apparently she thought Bobby more interesting than Keith: "A proper southern gentleman", as my buddy relayed the story!

Here comes everybody.

Late '90s, my mate/bandmate (tenor sax, guitar) Glenn went to see Levon Helm at the Cabooze here in Minneapolis, Bobby was playing in the band.
After the opening band finished, they announced that Bobby couldn't make it that night; my man Glenn marched up to the ticket desk and asked for his money back ($15 I think). Glenn's a damn serious musician - pro jazz player, but also loves R n' R and such. He told the ticket dude he was there to see Bobby Keys (even though he loved Levon and The Band), therefore he should get a refund.
The ticket guy understood and said about 30 people had asked for refunds for exactly the same reason, and he gave Glenn his money back.
(kinda dumb, as I told him, to miss Levon Fucking Helm just 'cause his tenor player can't make it that night, but just goes to show how much Bobby was revered by even serious musos, not just Stones fans).

Posts: 704 Gender:	Re: RIP Bobby Keys Reply #49 - Dec 2^nd, 2014 at 9:20pm Bobby's playing here on this late great Jim Carroll song is haunting and evocative throughout. (Jim was almost signed to Rolling Stones Records in 1980, as Mick and Keith were both fans of his work).
